Ethernet Connection Manager missing in Jelly Bean

[Tixy (Jon Medhurst)]

Without the Ethernet Connection Manager (ECM) vexpress doesn't have working DNS.

I tried cherry-picking ECM patches [1][2] from ICS but this failed to build for me. Knowing little of how Java gets built I couldn't work out how to progress beyond this error...

[2012/8/03 kejun-zhou] ECM needs some modification for being ported to JB from ICS.

This is getting tracked in BP, https://blueprints.launchpad.net/linaro-android/+spec/ethernetconfigurationmanager-jellybean.

Confirmed, now Ethernet can be enabled successfully through command line:

netcfg eth0 dhcp
setprop net.dns1 8.8.8.8

No need to manually configure Ethernet. It just works out of the box.

[Tixy (Jon Medhurst) (tixy)]

I see this had now been commited and on vexpress and can confirm it correct sets up DNS from DHCP. However, I can't find any GUI in the 'Settings' ap for editing the ethernet connection like there was in ICS. Should there be one?

Fixed with snowball android jellybean build

Ethernet connection manager is present and Ethernet is automatically configured.
